After spending so much time evolving the surreal cinematic style of DOLORES CLAIBORNE, the choice of composer seemed all the more critical to director Taylor Hackford: "I'm a great admirer of contemporary Eastern European composers Arvo Part and Alfred Schnittke, and sought the mysterious spiritual quality in their music. I love Danny Elfman's work, although I hadn't heard anything he'd done that fit the musical genre I wanted for the movie. However he's such a distinctive talent, I thought I'd ask him to see the film and decide whether it spoke to him.
I don't know much about the history of the release, but I have been told that around 40 copies were originally pressed (mine is a CD-R) and that most copies are in fact CD-R's - therefore the value of an original copy is very high. This album remains as one of only two promotional CDs that I know of from Danny Elfman - the other being GOOD WILL HUNTING. The artwork (see examples below) is from the OST release, but with a few alterations courtesy of Danny Elfman. He's inserted himself into the inside sleeve and back insert. Fans of this score should not be without a copy of it's extended version. Get it at any cost! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
